Let them eat testicles, says TV chef Roux of ‘squeamish’ Brits

TWO Michelin- starred chef Michel Roux Jr claims that we’re turning into a nation of fussy eaters.

‘Britain has become squeamish,’ says the TV personality, whose new cookbook is called Les Abats — ‘offal’ in French — and includes recipes for gizzards, giblets, brains, trotters and testicles. ‘historically we weren’t, and there are parts of Britain where things like tripe and black pudding are still fairly commonplace. But in general, people have — pardon the pun — turned their noses up.’

he adds: ‘Why should we send cuts of meat like offal to be made into lasagne, sausages or even pet food? We should be rejoicing in it.’
